Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

Commenters link Hakiri as a tool that checks GitHub projects for security vulnerabilities, such as flagged Ruby gems and Rails versions. The comments do not discuss any writing on the site.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

    Do you know of any apps like https://hakiri.io that automate security scanning and serve as a security monitor for any future disclosures? Also, how would one use bundler-audit if a Rails app is not actively maintained?

    Not sure about node but for Rails, Hakiri has been pretty useful - https://hakiri.io/ It's set up as a github webhook to run as part of your build, and it usually flags vulnerabilities in recent gems or Rails versions.
